Broncos sign Ryan Harris

The Broncos may not be ready to rule Ryan Clady out for the 2015 season, but they didn’t wait long to add to their tackle options in the wake of his torn ACL.

Jeff Legwold and Adam Schefter of ESPN report that the team has added veteran Ryan Harris to the roster. It will be Harris’s third tour of duty in Denver after he began his career with the team as a third-round pick in 2007 and spent the 2012 offseason and preseason with the team.

Harris also has history with head coach Gary Kubiak and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison after spending the 2012 and 2013 seasons with the Texans when both men were on Houston’s staff. He started 15 games for the Chiefs at right tackle last season and has also played on the left side of the line during his time in the NFL.

Harris joins Chris Clark, Ty Sambrailo and Michael Schofield as options at tackle as the Broncos try to sort out their offensive line with Clady out of the picture.

I thought they should’ve signed Ryan Harris before Ryan Clady went down.

I wasn’t all that happy with Ryan Clady’s play last year and 10.5 million is a steep price to pay for someone who is now proving injury prone. That side of the line has to be worry free.

Also thought they should’ve pulled the trigger on La’el Collins in the 3rd round. But understood the pr nightmare it would’ve been.

Both sides of the line have been under performing for 2 years now and Coach Fox was a big reason why and the reason for him being fired. Please don’t forget the Richie Incognito debacle.

I thought that putting the band back together was the right thing as well. The two years that the Denver Broncos won the SuperBowl the offensive line was the best in football. It is a pleasure to have a group of coaches that believe that offensive and defensive line play is what wins championships.
